Abstract:
An insulating mat for an exhaust gas treatment device thermally stable to at least 900° C., wherein the insulating mat contains inorganic fibers uniformly coated with a metal oxide including at least one of aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, or mixtures thereof; wherein said fibers are uniformly coated with the metal oxide by precipitating metal hydroxide corresponding to the metal oxide on the fibers, followed by converting the precipitated metal hydroxide to the metal oxide. A method of increasing the thermal stability of inorganic fibers for use in an exhaust gas treatment device insulating mat including the inorganic fibers, including uniformly coating the fibers with a metal oxide of at least one of aluminum oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide or mixtures thereof by a chemical precipitation process.
Abstract:
The invention provides a device for adhering cells in a specific and predetermined position, and associated methods. The device includes a plate defining a surface and a plurality of cytophilic islands that adhere cells, isolated by cytophobic regions to which cells do not adhere, contiguous with the cytophilic islands. The islands or the regions or both may be formed of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM).
Abstract:
A mounting mat for an exhaust gas treatment device including high temperature resistant ceramic fibers containing alumina and/or high temperature resistant biosoluble inorganic fibers, organic binder which at least partially liquefies at elevated temperature prior to binder burnout, colloidal inorganic oxide and optionally intumescent material. The exhaust gas treatment device includes a housing, a fragile catalyst support structure resiliently mounted within the housing, and the mounting mat disposed in a gap between the housing and the fragile catalyst support structure.
Abstract:
A device for treatment of exhaust gases includes a housing, a fragile structure resiliently mounted within the housing, and a non-intumescent mounting mat disposed in a gap between the housing and the fragile structure. The mounting mat includes a plurality of inorganic fibers that have undergone a surface treatment to increase the holding force performance of the mounting mat. Also disclosed are methods of making a mounting mat for an exhaust gas treatment device and for making an exhaust gas treatment device incorporating the mounting mat.
Abstract:
A method for performance analysis of a system may include capturing data including callee stack information and persisting the callee stack information in a form that can be queried. The method may also include generating a performance analysis report in response to a query.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and computer system for limiting a number of web service programming calls including intercepting a web request for web service programming from a client and extracting call specific data from the web request. The method and computing system further includes transmitting call specific data to a plurality of rate limiter servers and on the rate limiter servers, calculating a total number of web requests, where the web requests are identified by the call specific data. The method and computing system further includes receiving web request totals from the rate limiter servers and thereby determining accessibility of the client to the web request based on a comparison of the number of web requests for the web service programming relative to a predetermined access limit.

Abstract:
A computing device includes a processing unit and a memory with instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the processing unit to create: a business software processing module that manages business application software for a plurality of businesses. The business processing software module comprises a customization module, a registration module and an activation module. The customization module stores and processes definitions for business solutions that permit a business application external to the computing device to be integrated with business application software included on the computing device. The registration module makes the business solutions available to users of the computing device. The activation module generates an activation token and a web page for each request to activate a business solution. For each activation request, the activation module redirects the web page to a URL specified in the business solution definition corresponding to the activation request.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus is disclosed for delivering messages that utilizes a message queue and a router/filter within a private data network. The private network is connected to an external data network such as the Internet, and has separate outbound resource servers to provide a high degree of scalability for handling a variety of message types.
Abstract:
A graphical object is generated according to a first application in a document of a second application. The graphical object is constructed as a composite, data-driven object. The graphical object's data is organized so that the semantic data (e.g., relationship among individuals on an organizational chart) is persisted separately from presentation data (e.g., the layout and style of shapes and connectors for visualizing the organizational chart). The semantic data and presentation data are combined to provide the rendered view of the graphical object within the document. The graphical object displays and functions equivalently to when the graphical object is rendered by the first application.
